I Can't Hear My Keyboard

I Can't Hear My Keyboard

2009-09-08 by ruthsboy1

Hi, 

I'm trying to use my Alesis QS6.1 Keyboards with logic 8. I'm running the keyboard through my MOTU 828mk3 interface which I just bought (so I may have done something wrong on that end) but I was wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong in logic. I have audio cables going in the 1-2 inputs and midi cables are hooked up too. It records midi and the levels are bouncing, so there is a signal, i just don't have any sound coming through the headphones. I tried opening an external instrument track and the external instrument plug-in does'nt work either. I'm at my wits end...I know it's something real simple like a setting. If anybody can shed light it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the keyboard is 7-8 years old, I'm not sure if that plays a factor or not...but i'm thinking you should be able too hook up anything with a midi in & out.

Hi Tim,

This is because the midi local control of your Alesis synth is turned  
off, as it is your master keyboard, proof is that all instruments  
receive midi, right?

To solve the problem, you open the environment, create an instrument  
in the midi part, go to the inspector, name is Alesis QS6 for example,  
and select the midi port  of your motu interface that connects to your  
keyboard.

This should solve the problem, as this way Logic will be able to SEND  
info to your keyboard.

Take care

Did you try opening Apple's Audio-MIdi utility to install the keyboard?

You also need to go to the synthesizer itself and make sure its on Midi 
mode. Usually there are three modes : midi control only (then you 
keyboard will not sound if you play it), local control (it will not 
sound via midi) and both.

The thing is...What am I installing it from...the keyboard is 7 years old and the istaller CD that came with it is not compatible with logicPro 8...do i need to install it from the CD that came with the keyboard or am I missing something, is there another way to install it?

I use some old synths 8-9 years old too. There is not installer 
software. Just run audio-midi utility. You might try adding a new midi 
device and setting it to right midi port - or i think you can have the 
utility search the midi system to find devices.

Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: I Can't Hear My Keyboard

A couple things.

Pays to do things step by step.
(The Moti and the Keyboard my be communicating but not actually  
sending through to Logic.

Does the Motu show up in the Apple OS X Midi/Audio interfaces screen?
Does the Keyboard also show up there?

In the Below example  it shows an one device, an Axiom Pro 49  
keyboard, but you should see 2 a keyboard and a Motu or something  
device.




If either are missing then you will likely not get sound/life to  
Logic  as Apples OS is not able to see them so neither will Logic etc.
Do you see two devices?

Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: I Can't Hear My Keyboard

2009-09-09 by GAmoore@aol.com

in the audio-midi utility, i believe there is a test mode to make sure 
midi is getting to the keyboard, and making it sound.

its not extremely hard to do this, but there are a lot of little places 
it can go wrong. for example if you don't put the right port and midi 
channel, or set the hardware up to respond to midi - then it won't 
sound. i have also had bad midi cables so try swapping them out too. 
you just go through little tests and figure it out. its frustrating but 
eventually you will find it. its what we all go through. eventually  
you find the problem and you know next time.

OK...if u mean the audio/midi setup then yes they both show up and it seems to work fine as a midi controller for sofware instuments but the actual banks on my keyboard are'nt coming thru the headphones.

Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: I Can't Hear My Keyboard

2009-09-09 by Steve Currington

Ok..  Cool...

Open the Audio tool that came with the Motu



Make sure that the Phones are assigned to "listen" to the correct  
output that the audio is being sent to.
You can set the phones to  listen to any output and it is possible  
without realizing it that in fact you are listening to the wrong one.
ala say for example make sure Phones are listening to Analog1-2   
(which are probably the main outputs)..

You can check what output the data is being sent on I think by opening  
up the CueMix utility and watching the meters in that and then making  
sure that the headphone is also "listening" to the same one.    
Actually I think the  LCD on the front of the Motu828 will tell you  
the same info.
Also make sure that in CueMix the Headphones are also set with the  
Monitor button turned on (bottom of the headphones strip in CueMix) -  
from memory if that is off the the phones are effectively muted..

I don't have my Motu Traveler here and set up at the moment so can't  
actually do screen shots and test  and/or recall exactly what shows  
where - sorry - I'm doing this from memory.

Should the Midi port selection in the inspector read: QS6.1(Keyboard) or should it be my interface (828mk3)?

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
